I'd think the entire GUI system would probably need a restart since Mesa
is a fairly integral part of the graphics system. Not sure if just a
logout/login is adequate as X (or Wayland) continues to run to present
the greeter. I could be wrong there.

I expect that it wouldn't matter if the greeter X (or Wayland) server is 
still using the old library.  The user session uses a separate process.

Wouldn't this be one of the times where you'd want to run "tracer" to
get a
recommendation as to what to do?

It would. However you'd probably be OK with simply 'systemctl default'
(equivalent to 'systemctl isolate default.target').
